[46] Strony i programy do nauki jęzków darmowe cz. 1

Hi everyone!

For today I prepared something really useful, that many people look for. They are free websites, to make learning easy and convinient. If you've ever had a problem with finding such websites or programs and weren't convinced how effective they are, I decided to review some of them and share my opinion with you. All websites reviewed here are free, used as a free user, so I didnt log on any of them. Here we go!

 

DICTIONARIES (Słowniki)

Everyone knows how useful they are when it comes to learning. I could name many many other dictionaries, but they are my TOP 3. Is your TOP 3 the same?

Ling.pl

Used to be my favourite dictionary, howeve, now I prefer to use englih-english ones ;) This dictionary is really easy to use, it gives hints when you search for words and gives you different meanings on a word. It allows you to make out which translation should be used in some context and sometimes it also shows full phrases, idioms or sayings with the searched words. The only disadvantage that I can find is that there is no pronounciation provided for all words and sometimes it doesn't work. But except for that, I definitely recommend it to everyone!

Thefreedictionary.com

 

 Thefreedictionary.com is not only an enlish-english dictionary, but also a small encyclopedia - it explains the meaning of the word very thoroughly, shows in what context a word can be used, sometimes even shows the ethymology of a word, which I needed a few tmes and this dictionary never failed me! Pronounciation of a word is also available, usually in 2-3 different versions, i. e. American or British plus for people who can "read" phonetic signs, such option is also provided. At first sight the layout of the dictionary might be quite messy, but it only takes a few moments to know how to use it!

 

megaslownik.pl

This dictionary is really... useful at times, but I have a feeling that it fails to provide a full explanation at times. It provides translations for some really weird words I needed for school, (i. e. wysoczyzna ), has a really satisfactory scope of idioms, but there's something lacking. Nevertheless I definitely recommend this dictionary as it offers pronounciation, examples of using it in the context, but also phrases and sayings with a searched word.

WEBSITES (STRONY INTERNETOWE)

Angi

Angi.pl is a website that I recommend to everyone who likes to learn new vocabulary. It shows a random word and your task is to provide a right meaning. Below the space provided to give translations, you have a pie chart presenting how succesfull you are. I must say that it's quite fun, it definitely is a way to learn a new word or test your vocabulary range. The only thing I don't like about it that very often there is no context given for the word and your translation, even if it's corret, might be wrong, because the author of this flashcard thought of a different one. I definitely recommend checking this website out, it's really fun! :)

BBC

In my opinion this is a great site to learn English! It provides a whole range of articles that you can also listen to, provides thorough grammar explanation and exercises to memorize the lesson. The whole "programme" is divided into lessons, so the knowledge you're getting is ordered and clear, you actually get to develop useful skills, learn useful phrases and the topics of each lesson allow you to have the vocabulary communicate in everyday life siuations. There are different levels of difficulty which also are suitable for all English learners to find materials corresponding to their language skills. the website is clear and user-friendly and I definitely recommend it to everyone - beginners and advanced learners!

Learn English Feel Good.

 

It is a great website where you can find free materials regarding gramar, vocabulary, pronounciation and listening. There is a variety of levels for all English learners which will definitely let you find something for yourself! It is a great source of materials to memorize grammar and vocabulary, plus you get to develop other skills. The layout is pretty clear and the site is quite user friendly, so don't hesitate and visit it!

www.vocabulary.com

Another reat site which provide materials for learning vocabulary. What is important - it always offers contex, so you learn how to properly use words learnt. I recommend this site to all of you who have extensive vocabulary, but struggle to use words properly. It really gives you a good training and you remember most of the situations later on, which of course is the sign of an effective learning;) The website is really user friendly, so you won't have problems with using it. 

It's just the first part, so look out for the next one coming soon with free programs that you can use. And let me know what other websites you use for learning! Bye :)
